The PSA test is just one of a number of tests for early detection of prostate cancer. If you want to jump to diagnosis of prostate cancer, go to Earlier Detection: Finding Prostate Cancer.
The PSA test and digital rectal exam (DRE) may be used to screen both asymptomatic and symptomatic men for prostate cancer. PSA is a protein produced primarily by cells in the prostate and most of the PSA is released into semen, but small amounts of it are also released into the blood. PSA exists in two forms in the blood: free (not bound) and complexed (cPSA, bound to other proteins).
